Create a java program.

• War is a card game for two players.
• A standard deck of 52 cards is dealt so that both players have 26 cards.
• During each round of play (or "battle"), both players play a card from the top of their hand face up.
• The player who plays the card of the higher rank wins both cards and places them at the bottom of his stack of cards.
• If both cards played are of the same rank, then we have a WAR! Both players play three additional cards face down and then one more card face up.
• The player who wins the war by playing the higher card wins all ten cards.
• If the ranks are still the same, additional wars are played until one player wins the turn.
• If either player runs out of cards to play, he loses the game.

Sample output might look like this:

player 1 plays Card is 9 of Clubs

player 2 plays Card is Ace of Diamonds

player 2 wins the round

player 1 plays Card is 10 of Diamonds

player 2 plays Card is Ace of Hearts

player 2 wins the round

player 1 plays Card is 7 of Clubs

player 2 plays Card is 6 of Hearts

player 1 wins the round

player 1 plays Card is 9 of Hearts

player 2 plays Card is 9 of Clubs

WAR TIME!

war card for player1 Card is xx

war card for player2 Card is xx

war card for player1 Card is xx

war card for player2 Card is xx

war card for player1 Card is xx

war card for player2 Card is xx

war card for player1 Card is 7 of Clubs

war card for player2 Card is 10 of Diamonds

player 2 wins the war round

player 1 plays Card is 6 of Hearts

player 2 plays Card is Ace of Hearts

player 2 wins the round

game over

player 2 wins the game

You already have a Deck Class and a Card Class. You can reuse them. However, you must make some changes and additions:

• You must use enum for your ranks and suits
• You must create a new class for a hand – each player has a hand that has a variable number of cards. Is a hand like a deck? Is there a possibility for inheritance? Or is it best to create a new class?

Your menu should look like this:

1. Create new deck
2. Shuffle deck
3. Show deck
4. Play War
5. Exit

When option 4 is selected, you will start the War game. The program will ask the user for the maximum battle number. This will allow the game to stop in case it goes on too long. This will be in integer. Then next thing you will do is deal 26 cards to player 1 and 26 cards to player 2. Then you will show all the cards for each player. Then you will pause and ask the user to press any key to continue.

The game of war will play out as described above. Each time the players compare a card, it is called a battle. If the Max Battle Number is reached – the game stops and both players show all of their cards. If one player collects all the cards before the Max Battle Number is reached, then that player is declared the winner and the program asks the user to press any key to continue. Then the program returns to the main menu.

Capturing an Emerging Market

The growing racial and ethnic diversity of the US population seems to
overwhelm some healthcare providers. Health systems that are used to
providing one-size-fits-all care are now faced with patient populations
that are increasingly heterogeneous and whose members often have
perspectives on healthcare different from those of the providers. However,

if a provider can adapt to the needs of this growing market, a lot of
opportunities will present themselves.
    For example, promoting the opening of a birthing center to a community

is challenging enough, but it becomes even more daunting when
the residents speak 40 different languages.One hospital in an urban
midwestern community not only took on this challenge but also turned
it into one of the hospital's greatest marketing successes.
    Thirteen hospitals within a ten-mile radius of the primary service
area provided obstetrics services to the community. An estimated
24,274 women of childbearing age lived in the primary service area.
Another 134,055 women of childbearing age lived in the secondary
service area. A service area analysis identified the following ethnic
breakdown for the population: 72.2 percent white (including 18.9 per
cent Hispanic),11.2 percent Asian or Pacific lslander, 9.1 percent other,
7.0 percent African American, and 0.5 percent American Indian.The
percentage of Asians in the service area was quadruple the state and
national averages, and the percentage of Hispanics was double the
state and national figures.The racial and ethnic breakdown, however,
failed to convey the unique features of the service area. Among the
white population, recent immigrants from the Middle East and Eastern
Europe supplemented the Hispanic population.The Asian immigrants
came predominantly from Korea, Pakistan, India, and the Philippines.
    To more narrowly define the major ethnic breakdown of the childbearing market, obstetrics discharge data by physician were reviewed.
Physicians were asked to identify the major ethnic and cultural groups
of their patients.The following major groups using obstetrics services

were identified: Indian, Pakistani, and Middle Eastern (29 percent);
Korean(23 percent); Hispanic (13 percent); and Assyrian (6 percent).
Research into cultural considerations for these groups identified a
significant subgroup of Indian, Pakistani, and Middle Eastern patients
who were Mustim. On the basis of this information, four target ethnic

markets were defined: Korean, Middle Eastern, Muslim (Middle Eastern, Pakistani, and Indian), and Hispanic (Mexican, Puerto Rican, and Cuban).
    To increase market share for obstetrics services at the hospital,
marketing strategies were developed to raise awareness of the new
family birthing center within these ethnic communities. To achieve
this goal in a highly competitive market, the following objectives were
adopted:
1. Differentiate services from those of competitors by means of
· graphic images and color coding for directional signage in the facility;
· multilingual and multicultural physicians (men and women), nursing staff,                    

cultural liaisons, and interpreters;
· culturally diverse artwork throughout the facility;
· large state-of-the-art labor/delivery/recovery/postpartum rooms with hot tubs

and space for family members;
· ethnic menus, along with microwaves and refrigerators for patient use；
· childbirth preparation classes taught in Spanish, Korean, Arabic, and Hindi by

native speakers;
· a family-centered program of care;
· superior quality measures.

2. Enhance the hospital's marketing presence through
· creating a new maternity services brand for the hospital, featuring the graphic   

image of infant footprints;
· aggressively marketing and promoting the new features and benefits of the

hospital's maternity services; and
· reinforcing the hospital's unique position as a provider of culturally sensitive,

family-centered maternity care.

3. On the basis of these objectives, the following marketing initiatives were

identified for the hospital:

· Tailor market research to build knowledge and understanding
of each ethnic group.

· Implement culturally appropriate advertising campaigns for
each targeted group, including native-language posters/fliers,
newspaper ads, billboards, and radio ads.

· Develop a comprehensive guide to hospital services in
Spanish, Arabic, Hindi, and Korean.

· Launch aggressive media-relations efforts to promote the
hospital's unique commitment to meeting the needs of its
“neighborhood of nations.”

· Implement a comprehensive community-relations program.

· Tailor a series of grand-opening events to each ethnic market,
with ethnic menus, appropriate dignitaries, and entertainment.

· Develop a strong community presence for customized ethnic
maternity services, with photos of the physical space and
amenities in the hospital newsletter distributed to 125,000
households in the primary and secondary service areas.

· Distribute fliers to the religious institutions in the target market.

Case Study Discussion Questions

1. In what ways did the hospital disseminate its message to the
community(rather than relying on impersonal advertising)?
2. What indicators could the hospital have used to evaluate the
impact of these marketing efforts?

Trade in Hormone-Treated Beef

In the 1970s, scientists discovered how to synthesize certain hormones and use them to accelerate the growth rate of livestock animals, reduce the fat content of meat, and increase milk production. Bovine somatotropin (BST), a growth hormone produced by cattle, was first synthesized by the biotechnology firm Genentech. Injections of BST could be used to supplement an animal’s own hormone production and increase its growth rate. These hormones soon became popular among farmers, who found that they could cut costs and help satisfy consumer demands for leaner meat. Although these hormones occurred naturally in animals, consumer groups in several countries soon raised concerns about the practice. They argued that the use of hormone supplements was unnatural and that the health consequences of consuming hormone-treated meat were unknown but might include hormonal irregularities and cancer. The European Union responded to these concerns in 1989 by banning the use of growth-promoting hormones in the production of livestock and the importation of hormone-treated meat. The ban was controversial because a reasonable consensus existed among scientists that the hormones posed no health risk. Although the EU banned hormone-treated meat, many other countries did not, including big meat-producing countries such as Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United States. The use of hormones soon became widespread in these countries. According to trade officials outside the EU, the European ban constituted an unfair restraint on trade. As a result of this ban, exports of meat to the EU fell. For example, U.S. red meat exports to the EU declined from $231 million in 1988 to $98 million in 1994. The complaints of meat exporters were bolstered in 1995 when Codex Aliment Arius, the international food standards body of the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization and the World Health Organization, approved the use of growth hormones. In making this decision, Codex reviewed the scientific literature and found no evidence of a link between the consumption of hormone- treated meat and human health problems, such as cancer. Fortified by such decisions, in 1995 the United States pressed the EU to drop the import ban on hormone-treated beef. The EU refused, citing “consumer concerns about food safety.” In response, both Canada and the United States in- dependently filed formal complaints with the World Trade Organization. The United States was joined in its complaint by a number of other countries, including Australia and New Zealand. The WTO created a trade panel of three independent experts. After reviewing evidence and hearing from a range of experts and representatives of both parties, the panel in May 1997 ruled that the EU ban on hormone-treated beef was illegal because it had no scientific justification. The EU immediately indicated it would appeal the finding to the WTO court of appeals. The WTO court heard the appeal in November 1997 and in February 1998 agreed with the findings of the trade panel that the EU had not presented any scientific evidence to justify the hormone ban. This ruling left the EU in a difficult position. Legally, the EU had to lift the ban or face punitive sanctions, but the ban had wide public support in Europe. The EU feared that lifting the ban could produce a consumer backlash. Instead the EU did nothing, so in February 1999 the United States asked the WTO for permission to impose punitive sanctions on the EU. The WTO responded by allowing the United States to impose punitive tariffs valued at $120 million on EU exports to the United States. The EU decided to accept these tariffs rather than lift the ban on hormone-treated beef, and as of 2010, the ban and punitive tariffs were still in place.

Read the Country Focus “Trade in Hormone-Treated Beef.” Applying the facts of the case, answer the following questions.

a) What was the main argument that the European Union used to ban importations of hormone-treated beef? Who benefited from this ban and who did not benefit from this ban? Explain how for each case.

b) What action did the European Union take when it realized that it could face punitive actions for imposing this ban? In your opinion, what were the advantages and disadvantages of taking this action?

c)   Based on the result of the EU-U.S. trade negotiations over hormone-, treated beef, what observations can you make about the realities of

international trade in terms of national sovereignty versus national benefit? Explain your answer.

Coca-Cola is a well-established consumer products company with a strong position in the global market. The sales of its core soda products have remained relatively stable for decades, yet the company has continued to grow and has remained extremely profitable. Discuss coca-Cola's history in light of the statement that " generating a steady stream of new products to market is extremely important to competitiveness." Does Coca Cola's success disprove that statement? Is the company an exception to the rule or an example of its application?

Provide 300 words in response to this discussion posting:

When operating within a significantly competitive global market, the ability for a company to adapt and respond to customer demands can be incredibly challenging in a market such as the food and beverages industry. The Coca Cola Company has been a global leader in the industry through sales of their traditional soda brand, but offer different products including seltzer water, tea and juices. Having been producing their standard Coca-Cola brand of soda since the 1800’s during a time when there were few alternatives, generations of consumers have been familiar with the company and the brand, some of which have grown up with the drinks and consequently developed brand loyalty to the products. The consistency with which Coca-Cola has produced their drinks, with a keen focus on marketing to local country’s specific tastes and habits, has helped maintain a strong and consistent demand for their products.

Contrasting to the comment on sustainability and level of competitiveness are tied in with generating new products, Coca Cola’s success is not inherently a disproval of that notion but shows how success can be attained through strong brand recognition, targeted and strategic marketing, and brand appeal. While competitors, including their largest and most direct competitor PepsiCo, identify new brands and food types to offer consumers, Coca Cola’s sodas and ancillary products are valuable enough to their customers to achieve consistent global success. Their core products are strong enough on their own to continue marketing without the need to constantly innovate for the sake of innovation. One innovation of the company’s that is typically noted as a disaster in marketing was the introduction of New Coke in the 1980’s, which was a re-branding of the product with a new flavor of soda to resemble their PepsiCo competitor’s flavors. The new drink misunderstood what customers enjoyed about their standard Coca-Cola soda: they either preferred the taste of normal Coke compared to Pepsi, or already had Pepsi and did not need another identical-tasting flavor. Coca-Cola’s competitive advantage was simply offering a high-quality and consistent soda.

Through their consistency, Coca-Cola can maximize their productivity. By creating a similar set of products for over a century, the firm can generate novel cost-savings methods that produce goods quicker and at a cheaper cost, save costs in transportation spend, and reach consumers for consistent brand awareness through novel marketing tactics. Coca Cola’s access to consistent revenue flows allows them to develop new methods to maintain a high-efficiency operation, minimizing workload to produce the maximum amount of product as possible. When considering the need to supply products globally, partnering with distributors and transportation firms that can maximize that efficiency can also help to reduce costs of transporting freight to and from warehouses. The sheer volume of production that the Coca Cola Company can produce helps them to leverage competitive packages from vendors, which will help generate additional savings by partnering with strategic business partners to optimize their transportation network. Smaller firms that are do not have the luxury of such significant brand recognition would struggle to compete against a company with the optimization Coca Cola has achieved in producing their drinks.

I believe, in typical market conditions, that a company should have to react and identify new opportunities to address the demands of a rapidly changing and growing marketplace. To remain relevant in any industry, few firms can sustain consistent growth without a flagship product that has seemingly transcended consumer “wants” to a “need” like Coca Cola enjoys. With strong brand identity and loyalty, it would be very difficult and take years of regression for Coca-Cola Company to experience a significant loss of market share to an up-and-coming competitor and would most likely have the capital to acquire that firm prior to losing too much market share to them. The ability to offer a very specific but very valuable core group of products allows the Coca Cola Company to focus their efforts on maximizing efficiencies and reducing overall costs on the products they create, rather than spending resources to develop or identify new offerings that may jeopardize their productivity or alienate their core consumer.

DC a 5-year-old child was admitted to the ER because of bleeding episode. He fell from the swing while playing and had a 3-inch gash on his forehead which won’t stop bleeding even when ice was applied on it. This is the first time he had an accident. When the doctor came, he asked the parents if they have a history of bleeding in the family but both parents cannot remember any. The doctor said DC probably has a bleeding condition that could be hereditary. The doctor asked the mother specifically if she has any male relative with a similar condition. Both parents are curious why specifically the mother was the one being asked.

         DC’s mother recalls that as a growing up boy, DC would frequently have “dark marks” on his skin which she thought are stains from dirt when he plays. He would also have bleeding gums every now and then but she thought it was due to his tooth decay. DC is also fond of picking on his nose which would bleed when poked. Lately, they noticed that he limps and when asked why, Lately, JS says his knees hurts and it was observed to be swollen already .DC will have to probably be admitted for immediate transfusion of a clotting factor that was quite expensive.

1. Based on the symptoms presented by DC, what medical condition are you suspecting that he has? Defend your answer by enumerating the proofs from the scenario? Based on the symptoms presented by DC, what medical condition are you suspecting that he has? Defend your answer by enumerating the proofs from the scenario?

2. If the doctor said the condition could be hereditary, how did DC get it? What are the chances of having a sibling with the same condition as he has? Explain. What do you call this genetic pattern of transmission?

3. What would be the cause of his knee pains? What is this condition and why does this happen?
